@wrgrim @JohnScr16475172 @_chrishaynes I agree, the comic has a strong draw from the roots of Islam. it makes use of beautiful proverbs, and explores Islamic virtues. The comic often defends Islam, but doesn't analyze it in-dept. It promotes tolerance #engl3246 #claim

@wrgrim @JohnScr16475172 @_chrishaynes #Synth The comic provides insights to the complexity of Islam and its different facets. Kamala is an American teen from jersey, who despite her ethnicity is also an American Patriot, there are many contradictions in the way she decides to embrace her traditions. #engl3246

@wrgrim @JohnScr16475172 @_chrishaynes #Claim Well put WR, There is some sort of similarity among faiths, and these are good values. The comic provides insights to the world of Muslim-Americans. Which is also very different from the experience of Muslims in Europe per se. #engl3246

@AlecRozmiarek @Car0lineCheval @_chrishaynes I agree with Alec and Caroline, any voice can be relevant and have a message to be adopted by many despite demographics. That is what can save humanity #claim #engl3246

@julietw1606 @_chrishaynes @ben_marshall28 @lebe0237 Agreed Ms.M struggles because her identity extends beyond her ethnic background and gender. She's family oriented, but rebellious and independent. Theres important message often taken out of context relevant as is; to not be judged by the color of our skin'. #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@adlo00 @_chrishaynes Yes,if we analyze the character we come to understand her low self-steem is due to the rejection of everyone else towards her ethnicity. Even if her appearance was different, she'd be unable to change her core. The writers showed that Kamala has to accepts&loves herself #engl3246

@_chrishaynes #claim The coming of age of Ms. Marvel sends a message of self-esteem and individuality.This is a message that needs to be reinforced, and resonates to all genders and ages.

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@_chrishaynes #engl3246 #Synth Ms. Marvel super power is to shape shift into anything she wants. This is often a fantasy for many woman, trans woman, and people who struggle with insecurities. Ms. Marvel fandom include people who relate to a message of self empowerment and courage.

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@AlecRozmiarek @_chrishaynes #Claim #engl3246 Agreed, Ms. Marvel is directly affected by this divisive climate. It is as though she represents the view of Muslim-American. I almost wish there was a Mexican American super hero.. Lol

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@coopbohm1 @_chrishaynes #Claim Perhaps Kamalas character development has been affected by the Presidents Rhetoric who often rejects Muslim American and other minority groups. The image shows that setting of the comic is in accord with our time? #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@jessiefrances @_chrishaynes #engl3246 #Synth In fact, the audience reading Ms. Marvel is younger than the general public.The controversies surrounding the Presidents rhetoric most confuse the youth. Being able to voice disagreement with what is believed unjust is part of democracy and in actuality heroic.

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@_rchak @_chrishaynes #Claim I have noticed that Ms. Marvel skin tone is darker when she wears her costume. Knowing and reading of Ms. Marvels ethic we assume this is a protest. #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@_chrishaynes #deets In the image Ms.Marvel rejects the President. By using a real photograph within the comic world, the image implies that Kamala is real, and is in obvious disagreement with the current political climate, and fear rhetoric #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@charli0360 @_chrishaynes #Claim Perhaps Iron Man talks to the reader in general, explaining that we are being shown what we need to see #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@charli0360 @_chrishaynes #synth Kamala is told by Iron Man "you are seeing what you need to see. You stand at a crossroads." Kamal admits to not knowing who to be, because she is from Jersey not Karachi. Unlike other superheroes Ms Marvel isn't shy about showing her ethnic background #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@charli0360 @_chrishaynes #synth The article mentions the familiarity of Ms. Marvel to other superheroes like super-man and peter parker. It talks about fantasy assimilation of superheroes and points out an interesting fact about declared jewish American heroes after 40 years. #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@jobo5457 @ben_marshall28 @_chrishaynes #Claim She often talks about small, brown and underrepresented people. However the enlightening part is that we can relate to her human condition, and desires of being someone else, gender and religious background are secondary. Her conflicts are now more spiritual #engl3246

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@sahmwell2018 @ben_marshall28 @_chrishaynes It was easy to merge a character like her, into an American Comic print however in real life integration of these demographic groups take year efforts. America is a melting pot, the comic is relevant and accurate. Will we reventually reflect on Muslim-American history?#engl3246

@ben_marshall28 @_chrishaynes #engl3246 #synth I think there is a strong feminist tone in Ms. Marvel but I think the "point" of her story is to address the validity and equality of the muslim religion, give it it's time in the lime light, which is underrepresented in the superhero comic world.

[Manuela Carrasco @paulettecg]

@MaryLawhorn2560 @_chrishaynes #claim This moment is the birth of Ms. Marvel as a super-heroine, where she chose the good over the bad, and even over remaining a bystander. #engl3246
